Blogging on HubSpot

A blog is a tool and an element that cannot be missing in our Inbound Marketing strategy. By publishing a blog, we give strength to our website with supporting content, as well as benefiting from a better SEO ranking.

Through a blog, your customers are in contact with the content and information you publish. It is your opportunity to show that your company is a leader in the industry and that you control information about it. Users can solve doubts or consult blogs with information that is of interest to them.

Because of all the advantages of blogging in a digital marketing strategy, it has become a recurrent and preferred tool for marketing agencies. It also helps you to create content on social networks. Read more about the importance of blogging in this link .

what is HubSpot?

HubSpot is a marketing, sales and service software; that is, it allows teams to manage everything they need to drive traffic, convert leads and close sales in one comprehensive tool, from the same platform. It allows you to optimise time, organise and organise all of your company's content.

Although it is not the only marketing and sales tool, it is a very powerful solution for teams that want to focus on their leads and conversions with an inbound marketing approach.

why choose HubSpot as a platform to create my blog?

HubSpot' s blog has positioned itself as a powerful tool among businesses - regardless of size, it fits every business. With HubSpot's free Content Management System(CMS), you have everything you need to create and grow a successful blog. It allows you to easily create a branded blogging experience and start publishing SEO-friendly content while letting HubSpot's free CMS tool take care of hosting and security monitoring.

Not only does it provide keyword suggestions to ensure search engines like Google discover your content, but also features that convert visitors into leads or customers. You can create landing pages, forms and email marketing campaigns in a single platform, helping you create a seamless buying journey.

Best of all, you don't need to know coding or web design to start blogging. Built-in support for AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) allows you to automatically optimise your blog posts to load on any screen of any size, including mobile devices. No matter where your readers are, you'll reach them without going to the development team or doing any configuration. You can preview your content in the visual blog editor to make sure your blog looks great no matter where your readers access your content.

Optimise your inbound marketing strategy with blog analytics that tell you which posts generate the most clicks and where they come from. Then use this information to write about the topics that matter most to your audience. Keep your loyal readers informed by linking your blog to social networks like Facebook or LinkedIn through blog subscription emails and networks.

• Increasing web traffic: this is possible because it has tools for social media management, social ads, SEO, blog management and content optimisation, all of which will work together to help you achieve your mission of attracting users to your website and converting them into customers.
  
  
• Customer acquisition: HubSpot helps you in this task with tools to create landing pages, forms and calls to action(CTA).
  
  
• Contacting sales opportunities: after the previous point, lead acquisition, it's time to convert them into customers.
